It depends on what type of caterpillar you are talking about. For instance, the woolly bear (or worm) stays in its cocoon from an average of ten to fifteen days. There are oth â¦ er ranges, of course, but that is because woolly bear caterpillars are so common throughout the world.
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
Heat and temperature are related, but not the same. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance. The higher the temperature of an object, the higher is its kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is a type of energy associated with motion.
